    Safety symbols ELIET cannot anticipate every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. As such, the warn- ings in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are not comprehensive. Although minimal, some risk will always remain. If you apply a working method, operation or technique as the operator of the machine that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, ensure in any case that this will not present a danger for third parties.

  • Page 45: Changing The Oil

    • Remove the machine from its maintenance support and place it on flat ground. • Refill the engine with fresh 4 stroke oil. For this, ELIET recommends using high-quality oil with a high detergent level: SUNOCO DENALUBE SAE 20W50 API SF / CC.

    11.6.3. Replacing the blades The blades are self-sharpening; they don’t require sharpening. • Blade replacement is required when the blades are fully worn. • We strongly recommend NOT to replace only one or just a few bla- des since this interferes with a uniform operation of the machine across the entire width.

  • Page 51 Double Cut blades: • Ensure that the blade tips correspond to their spinning direction. • Two adjacent blades are always offset at 60 degrees. • Replace the end piece. Ensure that the six sided locking washer is well positioned in the recess for the tailpiece, so that it presses well against the blades and spacing rings when tightened.
